Will the method described here:
Captivate Root
work on an updated firmware?
Is there any word when a method to root and install custom firmwares on the Arc (such like Cyagonmod or something)?
I've tried just about most of the common methods I've found so far, and I've gotten nothing.
The only thing I can think of is the fact that the Arc is suspiciously similar to the Nexus 7, so can look into root and see if a port can be made for the Arc.
I have new firmware on PC for my Samsung phone, intended for flashing with Odin (i have PHONE, CSC and PIT files). My question here is, is it possible to root this firmware before flashing it. The case is, my phone is now rooted and I don't want to loose root access, but I would like to flash this new firmware, cause with this one i have occasional problems (force close of apps, freezes, loosing wifi connection, etc). I've searched every where but haven't found anything. Only Mobile Odin have such options, but my phone is not supported yet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had rooted my galaxy FIT on stock rom with gingerbread 2.3.4 & firmware version S5670DDKQ5 using SUPERONECLICK earlier.
Recently my fone was upgraded by samsung kies to gingerbread 2.3.6 & firmware version S5670DDKT2, and after the upgrade I was unrooted again
When I tried to root again, all my attempts failed, I used SuperOneClick 2.3.3 to root my fone again, but it failed after STEP 7.
Why can't I root my fone now, has SAMSUNG patched the zergrush exploit?
If so how do I root again?, I mean it should be safe enough to try coz I don't wanna brick my phone....
I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade/downgrade an android phone (samsung mostly) with official firmwares without the need to root? The reason is that some testing is needed on these devices and only with official firmwares it would be valid. And at will it would be nice to be able to switch versions for different test purposes.

View 6 Replies View Relatedi want to flash some new firmware on my samsung galaxy s4 and it doesn`t work.
it don`t reboot in the recovery.
I wanna dump the new s4 kitkat firmware: [URL] .......
But I'm stuck!
- I extracted system.img with winrar
- I put the file in the program sgs2toext4 but the program doesn't seem to make progress (see screenshot)
- I tried to mount the file with OFSMount but the image cannot be explored
How to easily extract it/link me to the dump.
EDIT: OK, it looks like i have to run the RUU to go back to the version ending in .5 first. My new question is how do I back up all my settings and programs before this?

View 6 Replies View Relatedyesterday I flashed my Galaxy Ace 2 with the JellyCreamMessi10 Rom.
The update worked fine, but not so the Rom. It looked quite well, but didn't detect my SIM Card.
So I wanted to downgrade my phone again to the original firmware with Odin, which also worked well until the phone said "Now rebooting...".
Nothing happened, the phone did not reboot, so that I powered it off and tried to power it back on.
Unfortunately, the Ace 2 does not react on any button, display stays completely black.
Tried several things like connecting the phone to USB and inserting the battery, afterwards, but nothing happens.
For me it looks like my phone is broken, but how I can get it back to live?
I saw in samfirmware.com that there is already an official Android update for my device. If I download it and use Odin to install, will it erase all data in my phone (contacts, messages, games, etc.)?I know using Kies to update my android will not delete anything...

Is there a list where I can check which model can be flashed or something like that.
I am having SAMSUNG GALAXY S ADVANCE GT- I9070.I have upgraded my OS to Jelly Bean 4.1.2, but I am encountering many problems like freezing of screen, high RAM usage, games not running as expected, etc.
I want to get this problem rectified by re-installing the firmware, but there is no option in SAMSUNG KIES showing Re- Install the firmware..Is there any other way to get this problem rectified??
I am thinking about rooting my X10i so I can get the great apps that I have seen that are unfortunately limited to rooted phones only.
What is the quickest and easiest way to root my X10i on firmware R2BA026? (please proved any links necessary)
Will everything on my phone be deleted during rooting process?
Will I still be able to get future updates with SEUS or OTA like usual, or will I need to re-root each time.
What are the pros and cons of rooting?
Is there any well known problems when rooting with R2BA026 firmware? If so what are they and can they be resolved easily?
Also, if I cannot install updates via SEUS or OTA, is there anyway to have root access and still be able to do this? What would you recommend I do?
So basically my Samsung Galaxy S3 was SIM locked when I bought it. After getting it unlocked (long after warranty was void) I noticed the guys installed a really bad ROM and I want to reflash with a stock firmware. Will this lock my phone to a single network provider SIM card again?
View 1 Replies View RelatedYesterday I was having fun trying out the secret codes (like *#*#4636#*#*) and tried out the touch screen code. Then clicked on update (firmware).
Then the touch was not working. I tried taking out battery and putting it back on. Tried factory reset after backing up data with Kies. Tried rooting the simplest way. Tried to flash using Odin with a recovery and pit file. Still nothing is working.
I installed wrong firmware on my Samsung Galaxy GT-B5510 aka Samsung Galaxy TXT and i only get white screen now i cant get in recovery mode or download mode.

I've tried all the methods I could find including Motochopper,SRS root, Oneclick root, Framaroot,etc. to no avail
I even tried flashing SuperSU through Stock Recovery ( Yes! I was that desperate)
There are no custom kernels or CWM for my device.
Found this nice program @modaco

works for all Samsung phones
I have followed the instructions for rooting using ODIN309 and 'samsung tab 8Odin309CF-Auto-Root-kona3g-kona3gxx-gtn5100.tar.md5' with no success.
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> CF-Auto-Root-kona3g-kona3gxx-gtn5100.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
the product name on the boot screen is GT-5118. Do I need to wait for the proper .md5 file to be available? Bought from Amazon, still returnable.
I originally rooted my S4 using the ODIN3 v3.07 and CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 method.
I then unrooted, using the settings to fully unroot in SuperSU app, to try and get an official update (which obviously didn't work).
I can't seem to re-root using the same method, probably because ODIN flash is still on my phone.
Has successfully rooted the Samsung Exhibit 4g. Looking to figure this out or know the likelihood?

Basically,only just got it, been very anxious around rooting my phone so finally built the courage to eventually do it.
I'm new to android. and thinking to root my Samsung galaxy y 2.3.6. so when I'm searching over internet there are so many update.zip files, then where can I find reliable one that is 100% compatible for sgy. does every update.zip file differs from other? and what are the precautions to avoid bricking?does one click method works fine? I don't like to have any custom Rom but just simply want to root my phone.
